This year's 'ELF' was a great Christmas film.
'Remember the Night' with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray is another great Christmas tale that is never shown on TV unfortunately.

"Signs" was wonderful. I hope lots of people got the point!
*The* movie to see this Christmas: "The Return of the King".

Nothing profound to offer, but watching Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" is great fun!

I think I will give To Kill A Mockingbird a try, since I have seen all the others and they are all great films.

It's a Wonderful Life is not only a wonderful Christmas film, it's also a wonderful film, period. It certainly is my favorite movie, hands-down.
As to other Christmas films, the now-classic A Christmas Story shouldn't be overlooked, nor should variants of Dickens' tale, or even from the small screen, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
By the way, our family saw Elf and enjoyed it a great deal: funny, well-made, well-written, terrific casting, it's a must. For those who enjoyed the ol' Rankin & Bass holiday specials from the 60s, you're in for an extra treat.

The 1951 "A Christmas Carol" with the great Alistair Sim as Scrooge.
To: Mr. Silverback
I recommend "October Sky." While it's not necessarily a Chrismas movie, - It's not named December Sky - it is a very wholesome and feel-good movie for the whole family. Pop some popcorn and get the kids around the T.V. for this one, it's a great movie. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

"A Christmas Story" is my favorite, but I always make a point to watch "Scrooged" with Bill Murray as funny as ever and Carol Kane as the Ghost of Christmas Present. A funny but touching speech by Murray at the end.

There are A Christmas Story action figures out now. I've seen them a few places. There is the dad with his major award, Flick with his tounge stuck to the pole, and Ralphie with his Red Ryder, of course.

The only thing that is wrong with ELF is Ed Asner plays Santa. But my kids (age 3 and 5) don't know or really care who Asner is. I held my nose and took them to the movie anyway.

Most overlooked Christmas movie of all time: The Lemon Drop Kid with Bob Hope. Introduced the song Silver Bells.

One of my fave Christmas movies is "Comfort And Joy", directed by "Local Hero" director Bill Forsyth. It is about a DJ who finds himself in a turf war between rival ice cream vendors Mr.Cool and Mr.Bunny. At Christmastime. If you liked the quirkiness and whimsey of "Local Hero" you should like this one.

We've had this rented from Netflix for over a month. Guess we really should give this one a look tonight.
